Great location, decent price.
Pros:

Great location, free parking, overall comfort.

Cons:

Noisy neighbours had a party after 11pm and despite 3 calls to reception nothing was done. Cleanliness wasn’t great, socks and clothing tags from previous people was left in one of the bedrooms. No shower gel.

Dålig städning och service
Pros:

Bra läge. Härliga killar i receptionen. Sköna sängar

Cons:

Smutsigt. Stora kaffefläckar på soffan. Fullt med smuts under dynerna. Ugnen fungerade inte. Behövde kaffe och handdukar men ingenting kom.

Pros:

Was convenient to all the restaurants and shops in Mooloolaba.

Cons:

The fridge in unit 405 kept leaking water all over the floor at the same time each day. There was grout missing from the floor tiles in the main bathroom. There was also mould in the wet areas in the bathrooms

Not quite the luxury we expected
Pros:

The apartment was very spacious. The 3 bedrooms, each with an en suite were great!
The staff was terrific... helpful and friendly.
A huge balcony with table and chairs.

Cons:

There were blinds missing in the living room so privacy was an issue.
The bedroom at the front needs blinds that totally cover the windows. It gets light very early and this was a problem.
Some areas of the apartment needed a better clean.
A dining room table with 6 chairs instead of 4 would work better for families and couples.

Unfortunate about the air con, but we like staying at Cilento
Pros:

Good location, clean well appointed unit.

Cons:

We experienced the air conditioning not working and although a repair technician was called and a temporary fix was performed the unit went out again almost straight away. The technician did say he did not have a lot of faith in the unit as it is due for replacement. We purchased a fan heater as it was quite cool at night.
